Airfix 1:48 Hurricane Mk 1

Hello all, 

 

Along with the Kikka I've been building, I've also got this project on the go. I actually started building it 5 years ago and got as far as assembling and painting the cockpit, before a house move saw it get forgotten about. 

 

I recently dug it out and decided to finish it off. I'm not a fan of Battle of Britain brown and green camo so I looked around for alternatives. I found some decals by Model Alliance which had a Mk 1 in 880 NAS colours and decided to give it a go - plus the big "M" sealed the deal! 

 

Undersides were painted with Mr Hobby Aqueous Light Grey and mottled for a bit of variety.

Topside camo is Vallejo for the Dark Slate Grey and Mr Hobby Aqueous for the Dark Sea Grey. Again, both have been shaded for interest if not necessarily realism.

And finally the decals are underway.

Thanks for looking

That looks great. Nice choice with the camouflage. I'm looking forward to seeing it completed.

 

I have the kit. How does it go together?

 

OK actually. Much better than the Spitfire I recently finished and less of a fiddly fit.
